The West side of the has endured two great fires which destroyed everything except the building in which Whitey's is in today. The events of the fire have very little evidence of any damage in this picture taken in 1907. Other than the fires that burned the square down, the hometown band would play every friday in the months of June and July. Today Medina has the oldest hometown band in the state of Ohio and the second oldest in the nation. With the continuation of the hometown band business around the square can further expand their profits with all of the people at the square.
